I have heard an atheistic scientist make the claim once that there has never been a Christian who was a real scientist. Let's examine this claim. What types of men founded our current sciences? Let's take a quick look at some creationist and Christian scientists:
| Louis Agassiz - father of glacial science. He is also counted as a credible zoologist, geologist and a pioneer of paleontology. He believed in a divine Creator. |
| William Foxwell Albright - a leading archeologist of this century. He began his career as a skeptic but his many archeological finds convinced him of the Bible's accuracy. |
| Charles Babbage - credited for creating the computer. He invented the speedometer, the principles for the analytic engine. |
| Francis Bacon - founder of the scientific method. |
| Roger Bacon - the first to recognize the laws of nature. He lived in the thirteenth century and his writings claimed the earth was a sphere (the scientific world believed it was flat during this time) and he believed in the future man would travel through the air. |
| John Bartram - he was the first American botanist. |
| Sir Charles Bell - one of the greatest anatomists. He greatly advanced our understanding by mapping the brain and nervous system. |
| Robert Boyle - one of the founders of modern chemistry. He discovered how air passes sound; originated Boyle's law which explains how volume of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. He also transformed alchemy into chemistry and distinguishing mixtures from compounds. |
| George Cuvier - founder of paleontology and comparative anatomy. He separated the animal kingdom into 4 categories including vertebrate, mollusk, articulate and radiate. |
| There are dozens more, but you get the point. |
